Isaiah 54:17

you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. ¹

I will vindicate them,” ² 

says the Lord.

¹ tn Heb “and every tongue that rises up for judgment with you will prove to be guilty.”

² tn Heb “this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication from me.”

³ tn Heb “Wayward Israel has proven herself to be more righteous than unfaithful Judah.”

⁴ tn Grk “the uncircumcision by nature.” The word “man” is supplied here to make clear that male circumcision (or uncircumcision) is in view.

⁵ tn Grk “through,” but here the preposition seems to mean “(along) with,” “though provided with,” as BDAG 224 s.v. διά A.3.c indicates.

⁶ tn Grk “letter.”

⁷ tn Cf. BDAG 407 s.v. εὐλαβέομαι 2, “out of reverent regard (for God’s command).”
